RE: The people of Texas getting what they deserve - Bengalzona - 08-30-2017 That was an ignorant thing for him to say. That said, how do comments by a peon (and possibly insane) prof at a tiny university rate prime time? It's not like he is the POTUS, eh. ![]() RE: The people of Texas getting what they deserve - Vlad - 08-30-2017 (08-30-2017, 12:20 AM)Bengalzona Wrote: That was an ignorant thing for him to say. I don't think size matters...pun intended. This guy reflects the Trump hate that runs deep in all of academia. Unfortunately for him he couldn't keep his hate in check. He's not insane otherwise he wouldn't have deleted his post. He's just a hater. RE: Hurricane Harvey - Vlad - 08-30-2017 Uh oh..CNN screwed up and let this one get through...but don't count on them harping on it. Democratic La. governor praises federal governments response to Harvey. http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/29/louisianas-dem-governor-praises-federal-govs-response-to-hurricane-harvey-video/ RE: The people of Texas getting what they deserve - oncemoreuntothejimbreech - 08-30-2017 I blame Rick Perry for praying for rain.

Hierarchy of importance and weight of social media comments according to the Daily Wire 1. Guys on facebook claiming to get stabbed 2. Cofounders of city level BLM groups 3. liberal professors at small colleges 4. city level Democratic politicians 5. state level Democratic politicians 6. Liberal celebrities 7. Federal level Democratic politicians . . . 283. The President of the United States... if he is Republican (basically meaningless, just venting, do not take as a serious expression of his thoughts or beliefs or intended policy decisions) RE: The people of Texas getting what they deserve - michaelsean - 08-30-2017 He might want to check out how the people of Houston vote.

College too small, Daily Wire... Why should the DW report on Trump? Certainly you must have gotten your fill from the MSM by now.

Well isn't it a given that a Democrat would praise the federal level of government? ![]() All seriousness aside we see political parties seem to matter a lot less when there is a disaster and people need and get help.

I see shitty irrelevant people say disgusting things online every day. Yesterday someone told me that the emancipation proclamation was immoral because the slaves no longer had food, houses, jobs and died. I didn't start a thread over it. I get amused at the level of outrage certain people demonstrate over things like this while they remain silent over destructive public policies that do actual harm. I am even more amused when it's a media source and not some guy trolling the internet. RE: The people of Texas getting what they deserve - Vlad - 08-30-2017 Just noticed way down below SunsetBengal had posted this story. Mods combine if you wish.

Clearly we need to reject academics when professors get together and elect such a mustang representative as this, eh.

Like all the harmful public policies that those white supremacists legislated? They don't affect my life in the least, nor do they yours, nor do they my black co worker. Not even sure their little parade makes the news had they been left alone or ignored.

Their violence certainly affected Heather Heyer's life and those around her. I wasn't referring to Nazis, but since you brought them up, the level of outrage people have over tweets versus murders is also amusing. Zona specifically made reference to the fact that conservative media outlets have an odd fascination with the tweets of random individuals in imagined positions of power while ignoring the statements of conservative politicians, specifically Trump. I was specifically concerned, when I mentioned destructive public policy, with the lack of outrage over Texas politicians who have a track record of not supporting aid for helping those who have had their world upended by hurricanes but now expect to get the aid they didn't want others to have.

Small school professor makes idiotic statement about Trump, ergo all academia is anti-Trump. RE: Hurricane Harvey - GMDino - 08-30-2017 Maybe the anger is misplaced by the right here. Maybe Texas is flooding because of the gays! ![]() In that vein...from 2016. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/pastor-calls-hurricanes-god-punishment-gays-home-floods-article-1.2756317 Quote:Louisiana pastor, who believes natural disasters are God's way of punishing gays, sees home flooded RE: Hurricane Harvey - Yojimbo - 08-30-2017 (08-28-2017, 07:27 PM)Nately120 Wrote: In all fairness those hats say MADE IN THE USA, so unless that is one of Trump's one bazillion lies we honestly have to thank him for putting Americans back to work. It would have been a larf if he would have said during his campaign that he's going to bring manufacturing jobs back to America by putting Americans to work manufacturing overpriced, Mike Love-style rope hats. Well....there are lots of places things can be made and still labeled "made in the USA". http://www.themadeinamericamovement.com/american-made/know-the-difference-between-made-in-usa-and-assembled-in-usa/ RE: Hurricane Harvey - michaelsean - 08-30-2017 (08-30-2017, 11:20 AM)BmorePat87 Wrote: Their violence certainly affected Heather Heyer's life and those around her.

They didn't support a disaster bill loaded with pork if I remember correctly.

Cruze and Cornyn were both against it. A few other GOP lawmakers were against it, but as I understand it, they were more upset because they wanted to tack on tax breaks or spending cuts and that was nixed by leadership.
